You too can enjoy the thrill of swimming amongst the sharks and other marine life in Melbourne with full scuba equipment and will have peace of mind knowing that each scuba dive is always guided by one of our fully trained dive staff. It’s an experience you’ll never forget.
Non-divers come to our dive school and take part in a one-hour theory session then head to the local pool for a practice dive. We will then meet in the afternoon at the Aquarium where all dives are of a 30-minute duration. All divers must arrive at the Aquarium 1 hour prior to the first dive of the day.
